In her own words

I'm a hopeless romantic, but at the same time a realist. I'm focused on my career and just moved downtown in the last year so I've been busy, but life is about sharing your moments.
So a little about me: I'm very outgoing, caring, and driven. Family is very important to me - my mom and sister are my heroes. I like to spend my free time with my family and friends doing anything and everything. I love movies, music, going to concerts, Chicago sporting events, museums, spending time outdoors in the summer at the beach, having bonfires, or just walking around the city. Also, trying new restaurants, bars and going to new and fun places. I like to organize fun group outings and am a bit of a planner.
My friends and family often come to me for advice or to confide in because I'm trustworthy and a good listener. I'm a storyteller - writers syndrome. My loved ones tell me I over-analyze things, sometimes talk too much and am loud. I love a good laugh, like can't breathe, crying so hard, full body laugh. They are rare and priceless!
What I'm looking for ... someone that is confident, witty, honest, funny, caring, trustworthy, mature, educated and values family. Anyone that can keep me on my toes in rousing conversation is always welcome (I was a communication major so it's important to me and I'm a girl - duh).
I don't do socially awkward or total bros - mean I know, but there should be a happy balance. Without going into a total girl rant, I'm very much over the party animals (life's about more than getting hammered, riding around on crotch rockets and getting laid). Oh and I'm sorry, but mirror selfie photos … you have friends - ask them to take a photo of you.
Anything else you want to know - just ask.
